Portabello Mushroom Burgers

This recipe is a twist on a classic mushroom and swiss burger because the portabello mushroom caps act as the "buns". Mind blowing, I know!
Servings 4 servings

Ingredients
  

  • 8 portabello mushroom caps cleaned and gills removed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
  • 1 lb lean ground meat
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil
  • 1 tablespoon Tony's Seasoning
  • Ice cubes
  • 4 slices Swiss cheese

Instructions
 

  • Spray mushroom caps all over with cooking spray, or brush all over with a little oil.
  • Sprinkle garlic, salt and pepper mix all over mushrooms. Set aside.
  • Mix meat, oil and Tony's in a bowl.
  • Form the meat mixture into patties and place in refrigerator until ready to use.
  • When ready to cook the burgers, take small ice cubes and place in center of ground meat patty.
  • Grill the mushrooms for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, until they soften.
  • Grill burgers for 4 minutes, then flip and continue cooking another 4 to 5 minutes, until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees.
  • Place a meat patty on top of a mushroom cap turned upside down. Add the cheese, and whatever other burger toppings you like. I personally like a tomato, mustard and baby bok choy instead of boring old lettuce. Place another mushroom cap on top. Repeat for the other 3 patties.
